The German Bishops’ Conference is facing backlash for a post about Karl Marx. There was backlash to the post on social media, with many Catholics slamming the German bishops for calling Karl Marx a “great thinker.” One of the comments, from a German conservative, asked rhetorically, “And Karl Marx is a role model, huh? So is socialism, that has cost millions of people worldwide?”
“A mockery to all victims of socialism!” said one commenter in German.” Mr. Cardinal Marx should be ashamed of himself!”
